    i used to think that, but i'm starting to think a bit more now that he's been selective.

    Bradley would fight him any time, I fell Maidana is the one that don't want it.

    I'm a big Devon Alexander fan but it should be 50/50 split regardless that Devon has proven he's a bigger draw then Bradley. Both hasn't shown they can draw anywhere else yet so yea again it should be 50/50 split.

    I think fighters are confusing their success at boxing with their marketability. A good example is how Angulo was talking about the Martinez fight. He said he wanted more money because the fight was in LA and that most of the fans would go out there to support him. Well it makes sense, Martinez is P4P material but couldnt fill a traveling circus arena. Bradley should take this fight and just accept what hes given.

    50/50 split is fair.

    Has maidana recovered from his injury? That was the reason the fight didn't happen the first time. If bradley-alexander doesn't happen then i would love to see bradley vs maidana.

    I think roach and khan now wants to fight alexander after watching the kotelnik fight.

    I wouldn't mind either of those fights happening as long as the winner face each other.

    That'll be why he turned down a fight with Bradley because he wasn't going to get paid enough?

    This whole thing is exactly as predicted btw, was stunningly obvious how this fight was going to end up not happening.

    Has there ever been a more clear example of a 50/50 split than this.

    Yes maybe alexander has a few more fans. But at the same time Berto is more established and regarded as the man at light welter.

    You still think Maidana really avoided to fight Bradley? His manager f4cked everything up. Maidana didn't even know what offer he got.

    maidana was never injured, it being covered before - management issues.

    last i heard was that madiana was wanting bradley. khan gave a list to golden boy with marquez is first option and ortiz, bradley and madiana on it. alexander hasn't been mention really.

    Agreed. Neither of them are draws at this point, but together they'd do well.

    The poster who I replied to claimed that Maidana 'just likes to fight' and didn't care what he got paid. Which is proveably false. Of course Maidana knew how much he was offered, that's why he said he turned it down.

    I've told you before you need to actually listen to what people say...
